Reranker: the best results first
The flinq Reranking API re-scores candidate lists and sorts them by relevance to the query. It is the precision step after the fast first search.

What is a reranker?
A reranker receives a query and a list of candidates and scores how well each candidate fits the query. Unlike embedding search, the model looks at query and candidate together and can therefore detect finer differences.
In practice the two work together: the embedding search quickly delivers a shortlist from millions of objects, and the reranker sorts that shortlist precisely. That is how a search system combines speed with accuracy.
What does that mean for construction?
In bill-of-quantities matching, product mapping or tender search, the first result is what counts. Whether a result really fits is often decided by details in construction: dimensions, grades, units, references to standards.
The flinq Reranker is trained on exactly these technical differences. It checks the embedding search shortlist against the query and brings the technically right results to the top, for example the product that actually fulfils a tender line item.
